WILLIAM D. YOUNG, OF PITTSZBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE SHOENBERGER STEEL COMPANY, OF SAME PLAOEQ MANUFACTURE OF HORSESHOE-BARS.

SP ECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 541,649, dated June 25, 1895.

Application filed July 18, 1894. Serial No. 517,944. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM D. YOUNG, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Manufacture of Horseshoe-Bars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is an end elevation of my improved rolls. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the blank operated upon. g 7

My invention relates to the manufacture of horse-shoes, and is designed to afiord an improved method of turning in the edge of the blank and, at the same time, removing the scale therefrom. This scale has been found very troublesome in the subsequent operations upon the blank, and by my improved system I entirely remove the same simultaneously with the beveling or intnrning of the edge portion. 7

In the drawings, 2 represents a lower vertical roll having an annular groove or pass therein, and 3 an upper roll having a collar 4 which fits in the groove of the lower roll. The

bottom of the groove is filleted or inclined, as

shown'in' Fig. 2, so as to turn in the edge. of

the blank which has been spread by the creasi The advantages of my invention will be ap- I parent to those skilled in the art, since without additional means, or another step, the scale is scraped off at the same time with the intnrning of the edge portion of the blank.

I claim 7 The method of finishing horse-shoe blanks consisting in creasing the blank, and then simultaneously compressing the blank verti- 4 cally t0 in-turn the edge, and scraping the scale from its sides, substantially as described. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
